In this professional certificated diploma course you will be guided through the best practices and required knowledge to be a stress management consultant and to offer paid for services to clients, groups and within organisations.

This is the first level of a three level diploma course. Each level will build on the previous one. Each level is individually certificated and the diploma is awarded on successful completion of all three levels.

In this course you’ll learn to identify, quantify and evaluate and quantify stress in the individual and in the workplace.

You will discover what stress is, how we respond, psychologically and physiologically and how that affects our behaviour. You'll learn how that affects our ability to adapt and assimilate new information. Find out how stress impacts us and how our personal defence mechanisms may not be working in our best interests when we’re under severe stress.

This first level covers what stress is all about and the ramifications that it can have, not only for our long term for our health and wellbeing, but also the potential implications for organisations, and ultimately their bottom line. It will give you plenty of materials to understand, guide and help people who are suffering with stress related problems and provide the necessary foundations for what we will build on in the next levels.
